Bareilles and the Maia Song Contest
In 2016, Bareilles appeared in the Dalérín program Síonfest, trying to represent Daléríqa in the second Maia Song Contest. She reached 5th place in her semi-final. As only the top 4 songs advanced to the final and Bareilles wasn't chosen as a wildcard, she was eliminated from the show.

On the 6th of November, Bareilles tweeted a picture of her at the national Ka'ohi airport captioned "Getting ready to fly to destination X for a completely new musical project!". Many rumored that Bareilles would be participating in the Maia Song Contest for another country than Kaohportia. Kaohportia based tabloid MaJarid rumored she would participate for Daléríqa, as Bareilles has her second citizenship there, or for Kashykia, as many of her songs charted here.
